Yup, there's many of them. I use DDG all the time, but this feature probably works in other search engines too - I just don't know

From any search bar configured to use DDG, just type !ai followed by your query

You can do this from the DDG website too of course. Other useful "bangs" include !w for Wikipedia, or !aw for the Arch Linux wiki, or even just !img for image search.

Or Claude ; the choice is yours.

It all works quite smoothly ; the install process is a breeze of a single .sh script to run directly from macos. The amount of software available for Arm64 is surprising, tho gamers will be disappointed there's no Vulkan / Steam available yet.

That "Default" install is really just Fedora, shipped with KDE for it's superior handling of fractional scaling. There's the dnf package manager, flatpaks, the works.

I'm 80~90% of the time on the Asahi side of things on my device. Showstoppers today are sleep battery drain (50% a day) and pure "ooomph" - performance of an M2Pro chip is more akin to a 12th gen i7 than the same chip under macos. Rendering in kdenlive or blender is noticeably slower on Asahi. But it's a huge reverse-engineering undertaking, and it will be getting better.

There's now a privacy-respecting offer on DDG, use the !ai bang to get to it.

To answer your question, any "natural language" query of modest importance, where asking a question like "will there be any more movies in that series by this director?" is easier than checking the usual movies websites.

It's not new, but I liked "my octopus friend" a lot

It's a blog post on how to get Netflix and Spotify to work on Asahi Linux, the project to run Linux on new "M" chipsets 64bits Arm apple computers. Their solution (and widevine hack) is now integrated in the Fedora Linux Asahi Remix project' default distro. You still have to do the user agent mod tho.

Ça doit être la 0.0% d'alcool - sans, ça risque de geler et, malheureusement, avec c'est pas très bon.

Pour les fans de NA, je recommande :

• Brooklyn Brewery "Special Effect"
• Brewdog "Punk AF"
• La Trappe "Nillis"
• Brussels Beer Project "Force Majeure"
• Troubadour "Zestra"
• Belgian Balance "IPA"

A la vôtre !

Me too, including when ferociously trying to debug why grub wouldn't find a freaking bootable anything. The error message isn't "uh, no config bro" but "hey, nothing to boot here, see ya in The Shell". Argh.

Astonishingly, the trailer for Triangle Of Sadness reveals a lot, even the whole timeline of the plot, while the movie achieve to surprise and astonish with how much more there is to it.

I was afraid I wouldn't enjoy it because I somehow "knew" how it was going to end, but oh, my, that was only the surface and the craziness ran m7ch, much deeper.

$ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.conf

Thaaat... took me a stupid amount of time to fix.

...La tronche des millions de touristes attendus ; le bordel dans les files d'attente à refuser et ré-expliquer en boucle... Les jo du 21ème siècle (après Néandertal).

Aujourd'hui j'en ai inventé un. En voulant expliquer à une collègue qui doit se rendre au Togo et avait l'ambition "d'en profiter pour visiter le Zimbabwe", je lui ai demandé si financièrement ça n'avait pas plus de sens de raygionner autour du Togo - enfant batard né de l'union de Rayonner et Region.

Est-ce accepté ? Suis-je automatiquement devenu membre perpétuel de la Cademmye ?

La Suisse c'est méridional soudainement ?

'Xactly. You say "je prends !" as in "I'm taking it!"

Yo. It's cringe AF for a pot-bellied, mid-50's white dude to say but it's kinda automatic.

Probably worse in my native French.

"Merde". As in, the french word for "shit" - or, should we say, "horseshit". Why? Well because at the time of horse-drawn carriages, a successful play at the theatre would leave a lot of horseshit in front if the theatre from the many, many coaches awaiting their fares.

I only ever update between projects - no way am I going to break something in the middle of everything.

This time, jump to new gnome means broken extensions as usual, and a hilarious one: qbittorrent doesn't show it's window in Wayland (gnome-with-X works). The soft is running, it there in the list of apps, there's even a big X "Close Window" button on Zoom Out but no actual window.

Eh. Lol?

Tampopo, by Itami Juso. Fair warning: get ahold of a reservation to the nearest Japanese restaurant, you're going to need it afterwards.

Also, it's a western. About food. And an initiatic quest, the everlasting quest for perfection (in noodle-soup making).

I designed an entire theatre using QCad Pro ; architect was on some unlicensed, outdated AutoCAD and engineering on Vektorworks. But for engineering, which I had to require .dxf exports from, I was able to work, integrate and send back to everybody from QCad. QCad is free and FOSS, the Pro version is $40/year and offers more import-export format and some neat scripts. If you don't want to fork out the $40, ODA File Converter will do the .dwg-.dxf conversions for you.

Where I work we have brand new Media Servers for a 4 beamers video wall running on W7 - software vendor says it's the last "unobtrusive" windows that just does what it is told to do. Remote control is via whatever, but the servers are 7 and will stay so. VNC'ing into those is quite the time travel.
